How to Style a Bag with Fall Outfits

• Styling your bag with fall outfits can be tricky, especially when you’re wearing plenty of layers.
• To coordinate your look with confidence this autumn, try mixing textures, leaning into neutrals and playing with proportions.

After months of walking out the door in lightweight tees, denim skirts and chunky sandals, it can be tricky to pull together a fall outfit that consists of multiple layers plus your bag for the season. Luckily, there are a few tips and tricks you can follow to make sure you look and feel put together all autumn long.

Here’s how to style your perfect plus-one with all your fall outfits.

Fall is all about layering different textures—think chunky knits with lived-in leather or cozy shearling with warm corduroy. When it comes to your bag for the season, try one of these rich textures for added depth.

• Suede: A suede bag adds rich texture and timeless elegance to any look, any season (especially fall). Style suede handbags with cozy knitwear or smooth leather for a layered look with depth.
• Shearling: Shearling is a luxuriously soft material considered a symbol of American cool (and one of our house codes). Style with chunky knits and other cozy fabrics for the ultimate autumn vibe.
• Natural Grain Leather: Natural Grain Leather only gets better with time. When worn often, your bag will mold to you—taking in the sunlight, air and oils from your skin for a naturally “broken in” look that complements the rich color palettes and cozy layers of autumn.

Don’t be afraid to go matchy-matchy with a tonal look that’s confidently coordinated this autumn. For an understated (yet still eye-catching) style, lean into fall neutrals like black, brown or navy. For example, a slouchy silhouette (like the Brooklyn or Chelsea) in warm brown will exude coziness when paired with fall fashion staples like beige cashmere sweaters, dark chocolate corduroys and chestnut clogs.

From super soft flannels to smooth leather jackets, fall layers are an essential part of any seasonal capsule wardrobe. But after months of walking out the door with no jacket at all, it’s not always easy to style these layers (plus your bag) with confidence.

Balance out bulky fall layers (like puffer coats or chunky knits) with structured silhouettes like the Tabby or Jet Shoulder Bag so your accessory doesn’t get lost in your outfit. If you’re wearing more fitted clothing (like tailored blazers or slim pants), try carrying a soft, slouchier bag for added contrast.
